I don't see nothing wrong of using T5 as standardlights and fans as offset.
I think it will work, it just complicates things. For instance, if I run my main LEDs 9a-9p (time set in Bluefish controller), I have to set my T5s in the center so I can offset my fans to match my LEDs. For instance, I could run my T5s 12:30p-5:30p and create a 210 minute offset, which would run my fans 9:00a-9:00p. If I ever want to change an on/off time for a light, I have to think it through, and a mistake could easily be made. Since my refugium LED runs "Opposite" my fans, I have to think that through as well.
It isn't a huge deal as I can make it work, it just isn't as clean as setting the on/off fan times to match the main LEDs and then creating a negative offset to run the T5s.
